Ohgawdyespleasenow.

It's be totally OP and summoners would be FOTM again, but hey - it'd be the death of SRS like people were crying for for so long >:3

Spoiler
At least just on Guardian. ;-; That poor thing needs some help, bless it's enchanted socks.

Yes, this is tree for dual wield Catalyst Incirenator. Of course, I would prefer to use Cloack, but I just don't have 6L Cloack, and it's still better to spend 10 points to get MoM that to use 5L one.


i had an Arc crit with IR-MOM-EB, pretty much crushed things. it was only 12 points away from my main pathing. still used cloak, maybe that was a waste since i had the passive, but the mana regen was nice (arctic armor). it was the tankiest build i have made and it didnt have block. *shrug*

sorry if repeat question:

how many skill points are we going to have? just 27? 31 points as if you got all of them upto act 2? 34 as if you got all in act 3 and stayed under level 28?

Added a new Strength Skill - Reckoning: Perform a swift counter-attack against enemies in a cone shape when you block with your shield. (Available from the Intruders in Black quest for the Templar, Marauder, Duelist, Ranger and Scion.)
Added a new Strength Skill - Vengeance: Chance to perform a swift counter-attack against all enemies around you when you are hit. Weapon range increases the area of this attack. (Available from the Lost in Love quest for the Templar, Marauder and Duelist.)
Added a new Dexterity Skill - Riposte: Perform a deadly counter-attack when you block. Uses both weapons while you're dual wielding. (Available from the Lost in Love quest for the Duelist, Ranger, Shadow and Scion).


None of these specify that you need to be holding a melee weapon to use them.

Does that mean wand + shield can use these counterattacks?


they actually already mentioned they were all melee counter skills in an earlier post. you want ranged counter, you got tempest shield.

Now we know whom to lynch for a terrible name.


I thought it was ok. It just seemed to make sense for a physical-based explosion skill. But if it's not phys damage, at least initially, then they did it wrong.

plssssssss make that Static Strike a compatible facebreaker skill


Very unlikely, given that 'blow' seems to be the word associated with unarmed-compatible skills, not 'strike'.


I can asure you that I'm capable of striking someone with my bare fist.

Static Strike with Facebreakers or RIOT.
Spoiler
or any new gem for FB, I mean, cmon.. it's pittyfull

FB is perhaps the coolest unique in this game.


FB builds get something new, sorta. Lightning Facebreakers (physical to lightning gem).

Also, voltoxic just got crazier.

Physical to lightning to chaos.

Why no love for melee staff users?



You realise the other 2 will work with a staff.


Yes, because if you're using staves for melee, you're obviously going to be stacking a tonne of dex so you can use Riposte effectively. This definitely synergizes with a strength-int type weapon.

As for vengeance... meh. A 'chance' to do a 360-degree AOE on block, in comparison to always performing an AOE on block, albeit a smaller one.

I'll wait to see what happens with the tree re-work, but this all seems to just make 2-handed melee builds even less attractive.
